27 TOWNSEND LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 27 TOWNSEND LANE sales from January 2006 and September 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the January 2006 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 27 TOWNSEND LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 14.6%, between September 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the St Albans local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 TOWNSEND LANE of £1,440,000 on 18th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £1,440,000 to £1,650,292 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
